February marked an exciting milestone for the local business community as North Shropshire College hosted its first Oswestry Networking Forum, and what a fantastic launch it was!

With Oswestry BID and Oswestry Life, the event brought together a mix of employers, entrepreneurs, education partners, and community organisations, all keen to connect and collaborate to support growth across Oswestry and North Shropshire.

“The positive feedback has been overwhelming, and it’s clear there is real appetite for this to become a regular fixture for our region”, shared Julia Edmunds, Head of Projects and Business Development at the college.

Building on the success of the launch event, the next Oswestry Networking Forum will take place in May.  If you are keen to join, please do get in touch.

Patron scheme

Alongside the new forum, North Shropshire College and Walford College continues to champion local employers through its Patron Scheme which is a programme designed for organisations who want to play a leading role in shaping the future of the county’s business landscape.
